Firefox Portable

google pop-up is sneaking in again on some pages+ other issues

Submitted by mozfan on June 19, 2023 - 4:42pm

This time I can turn it off with JSwitcher add-on, but even the add-on button is now frequently missing from the toolbar on many pages. Switching it off and on again makes it reappear, but it's happening too frequently now and is very annoying...

Most important, many links on some pages would not open, including Check for Updates on add-ons page!

Don't know if it's related, but screenshot is often non-functioning too and not only on excluded pages. Someone posted about this problem and found a solution by switching it off/on in about:config - any way to fix it permanently?

Anyone else unable to "Cut" bookmarks from the Library/Downloads window?

Submitted by gaveitatry on June 10, 2023 - 6:57pm

For the last two or three updates, I have not been able to "Cut" bookmarks from the Library/Downloads popup window. The Cut option is grayed out. After the update before today's, I was able to cut again (no longer grayed out), so it was working yesterday but then this morning before today's update it stopped working.

Maybe this is only the portable version that it is not working on, but I don't want to install the desktop version to find out.

hello everyone,
i'm currently using FirefoxPortable ESR :102.1.0 customized for my application.
This version of Firefox uses the new print preview user interface which has been introduced in version 86.
In order to switch to the classic System Print Preview dialog box , i have added this preference user_pref("print.prefer_system_dialog", true).
However a problem has occured during the print procedure following these steps:
Click on print
Click on Microsoft Print to PDF
Click on PRINT
then Click on Cancel

Updating wipes App folder customizations

Submitted by choin on April 2, 2023 - 12:03am

- Install Portable Firefox
- Customize it with stuff
- Update using original Portable installer
- Discover that your customizations were wiped

The problem is, from what I understand, that the installer will wipe the App\Firefox and App\Firefox64 folders. But a lot of customizations rely on additional files located in these folders.

Right now, to update Portable Firefox, I resort to installing a new version into a fresh folder, then copying its contents over my original installation. That way my customizations are preserved.

Start Firefox ignoring plugins of the running system

Submitted by Holgi-568 on March 20, 2023 - 9:29am

Hello,
I searched for a answer to my question, but I found not a working solution.
It is possible to start the firefox portable version with a paramter or something else without searching for installed plugins of the Windows operation system. (-no-remote does not work). The best solution would be the use of the .ini file.
This is for me a possibility to have a look on a website with and without plugins.
Thanks for reaction
